# 1 Re: Trying to get this to work...
Your statements would make sense if you had an array of MenuOrder elements named itemTotal created in your Project3 class file. It appears that you are trying to access the array which is a static data member of the MenuOrder class. In order to access that field, try using MenuOrder.itemTotal[0], etc. If this does not work, provide setter methods which will put the value into the appropriate index location in the array.

# 3 Re: Trying to get this to work...
You've declared itemTotal[] as both an array of doubles and MenuOrders.
Have you tried to call the array by using MenuOrder.itemTotal[i]? Notice the "dot" between MenuOrder and itemTotal[i], rather than a space? Same with your grandTotal field ...

# 5 Re: Trying to get this to work...
Let's take a look at this line of code:
MenuOrder item1 = new MenuOrder.calculateItemCost(numberOfItems, cheeseSteakSub);
The difficulty you are getting now is that your code is telling the compiler that you are trying to construct an instance of class MenuOrder, called item1, by running a static method of the class which returns a double, not an instance of the class.
It appears to me that you have your interaction of the two classes mixed up and you do not have a clear idea of what you are trying to accomplish. I think that if I were writing this, I would not make everything in MenuOrder a static method or field. I would create a new instance for every order, then my code would use the methods exposed by that instance as selections are made by that customer (or table) - each order would have its own itemTotal[] array and would calculate its own totals.
Makes sense to me ... how about you?

# 6 Re: Trying to get this to work...
In the line of code MenuOrder item1 = new MenuOrder.calculateItemCost(numberOfItems, cheeseSteakSub); I am creating an object item1 from class MenuOrder to calculate the cost of each item selected then storing the total cost in an array position ten at the end total the array to get grandtotal
I made them static because if I don't make the methods static I get the errors non-static variable xxxxxxx cannot be referenced from a static context, so making them static is the only way I can get this to pass
# 7 Re: Trying to get this to work...
You cannot construct an instance of the class in the manner you are trying. I think this is why you were getting your "calling a non-static method in a static environment" error - you were not constructing an instance of the class.
First, construct an instance of MenuOrder called table3, for the customers sitting at table3:
MenuOrder table3 = new MenuOrder();
Then take table3's orders. As you enter the orders, let's say for CheeseSteak Subs, assign a value for numberOfItems, then call calculateItemCost like this:
table3.itemTotal[1] = table3.calculateItemCost(numberOfItems, 4.95);
Once your customers have entered their orders, now calculate the total for table3's order by summing the values held in each element of the array, perform sales tax calculation (if applicable) and spit out the info.
